James Claffey's brilliant debut novel, and aptly named, The Heart Crossways, grabs hold of you from the start. All the despair and desires of this boy's life, of this family's struggles, and atmospheric Dublin, comes fully to life. Sentence after gorgeous sentence, one feels total immersion. Lyrical and lovely, this novel is poetry in motion.
Blood a Cold Blue is James Claffey's debut story collection that Ronlyn Domingue says "spans the distance of continents and the gulf between memories. At times beautifully surreal then painfully stark, his stories reach into those parts of us that long to be gathered and made whole again." Meg Tuite says, "Claffey is a collector of moments that throb to life; shapes appear out of the mist of memory as irreducible as the mystery of existence itself. Blood a Cold Blue is fueled by a masterful writer: powerful, unforgettable and mesmerizing."

The authors cross genres and borders between historical and contemporary, speculative and realistic, presenting two unforgettable characters on a journey toward their inevitable, fateful destination.
